We are hosting a party and would like some form of ticketing webapp to help with registration and collecting the ticket fees. Eventbrite is a good service, but it doesn't perfectly fit with our requirements, which are:

We would love to have two different ticket types, like one for premium and one for normal packages.

In addition to that we have a total number of tickets in each category to sell, such as 100 premium tickets and 40 normal packages.

The total number of tickets should be under some form of quota for men and women, as we want to have an equal number of men and women attending. Which is tricky, because during the signup period there may be times when we have, say, too many women, and we then want to have the extra women on a waiting list and only be admitted when extra men sign up.

we would also have the need for collecting extra data fields from the participants, such as food requirements (vegetarian, vegan,...?)

It would be great, if

the webapp automatically can send an email to people who bought their ticket

it can handle payment options such as paypal, credit card and bank transfers in Europe

Barry, thank you for the answer. Unfortunately they don't do anything with respect to ticket sales, or even guest list management/limits/quotas. The service just sends pretty invitations, it seems to me. So it's more about a party where you invite and manage from there – we want to sell tickets to people wanting to come, we may invite a few, but not all...

Welcome to Web Applications. As you browse the site you'll see that the better/more useful answers are longer and much more detail than yours. If you were to explain how and why your answer was relevant it would have the potential to become one of those answers.

I think EventHoller does everything you're looking for, it lets you create different ticket types and you can set limits on how many of each type are sold. It has a couple other cool features as well. It also accepts a variety of payment options, which you mentioned you are looking for. It also makes it easy for organizers and attendees to contact eachother, which would help solve your vegetarian issue. The best part is it's free. As someone who has managed events in the past, I am always annoyed by the $1+2% or whatever most sites charge. EventHoller is legitimately free to use, which is awesome.
